Exactly. Theft happens every day, orders of magnitude greater values get stolen from people, often by corporations, but when people steal some packages from a train or shoplift from Walgreens, that’s somehow the horrible and shocking news story.

How many “OMG people are stealing from corporations and getting away with it!” news stories have been published in the last 30 days?

I guess it only counts as societal breakdown when there’s viral video of it.
